Unable to share renewed certification on LinkedIn?

Hello, Div.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft's Community.

As we understand, you received your Certification, but you have not been able to download your Certificate.

We would like to let you know that in order to provide you with the best solution to your requests and inquiries, our tools will be in maintenance during the next couple of weeks.

“We are currently completing work in our certification system that will correct your record. Due to that work in progress, we are unable to take action until that time. We apologize for any inconvenience and ask for your patience".

Microsoft is introducing new features to the Microsoft Learn profile, providing learners with more flexible options for viewing and sharing their Microsoft Certifications directly from Microsoft Learn. With this feature release, Credly badge services will no longer be used for most Microsoft Certifications.

What is shared from your Learn Profile is the certification itself. We will provide the steps of this new experience so you can share your Certificate to the available social media platforms.

1. Sign into your Learn profile

2. Click on the photo avatar and select Profile from the dropdown menu

3. Select Certifications from the menu inside your profile

4. Scroll to the certification that you’d like to access and select “View certification details” below the description.

NOTE: To share your Microsoft Certifications, ensure you have connected your Microsoft Certification profile to your Learn profile.

Example of a Credential ("Online verifiable") record:

You can identify a certification with the new Learn sharing experience by the "Online Verifiable" tag that is shown next to them in the Certification record list.

 Under the certification title, there are three options: “Print”, “Edit display name” and “Share”

Print the credential record 

Click on the Print option in the certification details

You should see the browser's print dialog experience. 

Note: There is usually a toggle somewhere within it to select to include "Background graphics". You can toggle this on/off to see the difference. 

Edit display name 

Verify that it links you to your profile settings page, which should look similar to the picture below
